Brighton bossed the opening 20 minutes before United started to come into the game as the first half wore on. Albion took the lead less than three minutes into the second period when Deniss Rakels headed home a George Barker free kick.

United goalkeeper Josh Pelling made a couple of good saves, while Jono Richardson and Sean Kelly had sights of goal at the other end before Albion added a second right at the end courtesy of a Josh Jirbandey own goal.
